Cabling a stand-alone appliance

The topics in this section give a brief overview of cable connections to be made
when installing a stand-alone TS7650 Appliance at the customer site.
Most of the cable connections have been completed during the manufacturing
process, and are shown in the figures. The tables in the following sections list only
those cable connections that must be made at the customer site. To avoid
confusion, it is suggested that you label each cable as you make the connection.
